leftist agenda is NOT what America wants....koolaid supplies running low. Maybe Obama will now start ruling with an iron fist like Mao...just kill off the dissidents? I wouldn't put anything past him
Yes,...I myself wonder what Obama will do NEXT, to try and pull himself out of this slump.
Or, should I say,.."What will Obama's handlers, will come up with, to restore Obama's confidence ratings in America?"
I see he has already been asked to "Look Into College Basketball",,......LOL
I see he has already been asked to,...
"Bail Out",..." Mom & Pop's",...and "Small Business"
I wonder if he will say a few words at the Passing of our beloved "SOUPY SALES",...

Hey palsy-
You and I are not palsyes
The election was a year ago. Get over it.
I am still celebrating and will be nov 2010 when the republicans pay the bill for the condition of our economy, their united stand against Sotomayer'confirmation, their vote against the Franklin amendment
We get it. Obama is the President of the United States. Some people that do not agree with him don't hate him. I think >>shock<< he is a politician.
Hatred is a dehablitating disease, those who hate empower the ones they hate
.....and the 2010 "poll" is a comin'.......
Bring out the crying towels | |

.....and the 2010 "poll" is a comin'.......
Yep and at the rate the Democrats are going in the state and national polls the Democrats and Obama are going to need some really big crying towels come November 2010. For if the elected state and federal Democrats don't straighten up a bit there will be some big changes.
Right now the Democrats are losing their ratings in many states, especially the states where the Town Hall people were treated badly.
2010 will be an interesting year, especially for the elected officials that do not listen to the people who vote them into office. (Yes there are a few republicans in trouble. However, most republicans are at least trying to look like they are listening. ).
For any president, this big of a drop in just 8-9 months time shows that many have already become disappointed with Obama, including those who voted for him. | |

If I were a Repub I would start shouting loud against the fiscal irresponsibility. Not whispering the warnings like GW did during his eight years. It would position myself as the good guy and as someone who looks to the future.
Oh wait. Did I say the word "future" ?
Never mind. | |

The polls look terrible for the republicans come 2010 maybe they should take some of the lobbyist's payoff money and take a vacation a long vacation

Posted: 10/27/2009 4:38:19 PM | polls average at real clear (RCP) are 51.7% for Obama and 44 % against
The RCP is an average of
NBC 51% for and 42% against
Gallup 51% for and 41% against
Rasmussen Reports 49% for and 51% against
CNN/Opinion Research 55% for and 43% against
USA Today/Gallup 50% for and 46% against
ABC News/Wash Post 57% for and 40% against
FOX News 49% for and 45% against
The Spread such as +17 in the ABC poll number is the difference between the two numbers.
No they are not negative numbers yet, but overall average says that a bit less than 2% more than 1/2 the nation seems to support/ approve the president just 9 months after he took office.
As said before Obama suffered the biggest drop in beginning polls of any president in 50 years
The 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953.
One president who was not elected to his first term - Harry Truman - had a 13-point drop between his second and third quarters in office in 1945 and 1946. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=109383§ionid=3510203
[b[Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years
The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

Posted: 10/27/2009 4:57:49 PM | | 51.7 exactly the same range as when he was elected and also then in April.Yes just briefly he had elevated numbers but all other times,absolutely the same.as for the biggest drop in 50 years all other stories disagreed only that one writer wrote that,others proved it as inaccurate,an over blown statement,had he not used April as his marker date then the story would have held more true,but that was not the case,others showed numbers for most modern presidents first years and stated the numbers were average,and further indicated first year numbers mean nothing as to how the term will go.Proof has already been shown on this thread.a couple times at least. | |

polls average at real clear (RCP) are 51.7% for Obama and 44 % against
Correct that means that 7.7 % more of those polled thought he was doing a good job
The RCP is an average of
NBC 51% for and 42% against
Gallup 51% for and 41% against
Rasmussen Reports 49% for and 51% against
CNN/Opinion Research 55% for and 43% against
USA Today/Gallup 50% for and 46% against
ABC News/Wash Post 57% for and 40% against
FOX News 49% for and 45% against
The Spread such as +17 in the ABC poll number is the difference between the two numbers.
so + 17% think that he is doing a good job
No they are not negative numbers yet, but overall average says that a bit less than 2% more than 1/2 the nation seems to support/ approve the president just 9 months after he took office.
As seen in the numbers we both looked at every poll except one showed President Obama has a favorable job approval ranking, you can "yet" it took the cows come home and think what you want to but the polls you rely on show this President is still receiving high grades for his job performance
As said before Obama suffered the biggest drop in beginning polls of any president in 50 years
It has been around 80 years since any president has had to face the economic perils that President Obama faces and still the people think he is doing a good job
The 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953.
And so the polls go up and down but as of yet President Obama has remained on the plus side of every monthly performance poll
One president who was not elected to his first term - Harry Truman - had a 13-point drop between his second and third quarters in office in 1945 and 1946. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=109383§ionid=3510203
I fail to see the connection, the poll that counts is the one that took place on Nov 08 when the people elected President Obama as the next President of the United States
The next one that counts will be held nov 2010 when once again the people will go to the voting booths and remove the republican senators that voted against Soto Mayer, against the rape amendment and against the best interests of the people | |

Actually next week is going to be a bit telling for Obama. Right now Obama is out campaigning for Democratic governors who are trying to win elections. Seems it just might look bad for Obama if he can't keep Democratic governors in the states that he won over during his election.
By 2010 with all the promises Obama has already broken, the Democratic candidates up for re-election, or election statewise and federally just might be better off if Obama keeps his nose out of their campaigns. | |

Let's not start extrapolating New Jersey onto Obama... whether democrat or republican... support for Obama remains very strong... Corzine on the other hand has had his issues... and what's his obese ass republican is making campaign promises that he can't possibly keep if anyone knows the political and business climate in New Jersey...
Personally, i think Corzine should take a full length close up of him for a TV commercial and he wouldn't have to say anything other than... "Is this who and what you want representing you as governor? or "what if he doesn't make it through his term, who'd be the governor?"
I can tell you now... I wouldn't hire the guy for a job never mind vote for him to represent me... | |

This is the favorability poll
Reading is fundamental!
Umm, his "favorability rating" when he was elected was almost 80. So, a 25 point drop in 10 months is a good trend in your opinion?
*rolls eyes*
Reading may be "fundamental"...but objectivity is bliss.

*rolls eyes* Polls all have different meaning,this one is constantly misquoted and used as their proof, and the one all the haters keep bringing up is the poll about "How do you think the president his handling of the transition".The poll asked specifically that question ! Also that famous ,oh so often recanted poll ,consisted of 1,096 adult Americans interviewed by telephone.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- -- With six weeks before taking office, President-elect Barack Obama is having one heck of a honeymoon, a new national poll suggests.Nearly eight in 10 Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey out Tuesday morning are giving the president-elect the thumbs up when it comes to his handling of the transition. Seventy-nine percent approve of Obama's performance so far during transition, with 18 percent disapproving.
Obama's approval rating is 14 points higher than the approval rating for President-elect George Bush in 2001 and 17 points higher than President-elect Clinton's rating in 1992, CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
Obama's current approval rating is also more than 50 points higher than President Bush's current approval rating, which now stands at 28 percent --- with 71 percent disapproving of the way Bush is handling his job as president.
"An Obama job approval rating of 79 percent -- that's the sort of rating you see when the public rallies around a leader after a national disaster," said Bill Schneider, CNN's senior political analyst. "To many Americans, the Bush administration was a national disaster." | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 7:15:58 AM | | A poll consisting of 1097 people is 297,000 th of 1% of the population of the U.S.,that's like going in to a city of 297,000 people and asking one person their opinion.Although polls claim themselves accurate within a plus or minus 3,I highly doubt that.When you polled that one person in a city that large do you really think you got the true feelings of that city. | |

Yes Obama came in with very high ratings, but he also dropped a whole lot from those very high ratings.
As Post 215 said
Umm, his "favorability rating" when he was elected was almost 80. So, a 25 point drop in 10 months is a good trend in your opinion?
Since we can't use 9/11 and its aftermath as a fair poll on Bush I will not go into what GW's rating's were at this same time in his presidency. However just prior to 9/11 GW 's ratings were just as high or higer than Obama's numbers were in August and early September of his term.
Bush, Clinton and other presidents might not have started out with as high a rating as Obama but these presidents sure did not lose as many points as Obama has in his first 9 months in office.
As stated in message 206 Obama's decline in the polls has been the steepest of any president in 50 years.
Before comparing Obama's ratings to any president's ending term ratings, one might want to see how Obama ends up his term. | |

As stated in message 206 Obama's decline in the polls has been the steepest of any president in 50 years. you repeatedly ignore the posts that disprove your words,didn't I just show that the poll that caused the greastest drop in fifty years was how would you rate Obamas transition into the presidency.That story was written by one writer all the other stories made no such claim,the writer only arrived at it by using different polls of apples and oranges.It got you and millions to read his story and research him,it worked for him,he was successful at being misleading,but you need to be smarter and stop taking these stories at face value.Transition have nothing to do with how do you rate the performance of Obama.You can't keep quoting that number,its not true,you try to mislead so many by using anything at all thats speaks against the president.Show me a poll thats polling about 100,000,000 people and you'll have a good look at how things are.Stick with facts,stop misleading everyone ! | |

It's rumored that his job performance ratings although still great could even be much higher if he wasn't being attacked every day by a certain questionable news station and by some republicans who have the interests of the specials interests in mind when they look at their bank accounts, now you have to take into account his strong desire to reach out to those on both sides of the ailse to obtain bipartisan support for the bills and amendments he wants to see enacted, it's hard to understand his thought process especially after following President Bush who was more of a shoot from the hip type of President, you know like in Iraq where he was firing before he knew why.
Bottom line we have a President who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize not for what he accomplished per se even though his attititude and demeanor preceed him throughout the world, his intent is clear and brings hope to millions maybe billions of people throughout the world that their is a ray of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel for a peaceful if not cooperative future for each and every human being.
So his job performance even though it is clearly high could be better if people were able to see the end achievements before the end of his second term in office | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 8:07:08 AM | | clarifying my words,poll "disclaiming" the greatest drop in 50 years is CNN,the poll was about hows his transition into the presidency going,and that poll was before he stepped into office,he had only been elected at that point,Bush was still occupying the white house.Your story of the greatest drop in 50 years comparing apples to oranges is Toby Harnden a UK writer based in Washington. | |

David Paul Kuhn at RCP reports
Gallup: Obama Suffers Worst 3rd Quarter Drop in Approval Since 1953 Among all presidents since WWII, Obama's third quarter approval rating is above only Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford. Clinton averaged 48 percent in the third quarter of 1993. Ford averaged 39 percent during his 1975 third quarter. http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2009/10/21/poll-obama-worst-decline-in-approval-since-wwii/

Seems that Obama needs to start doing some work by listening to his constituents. Remember where GW ended up because he wasnt listening to his constituents, but that took over 6 years.

If Obama would keep some of his promises, get himself out of campaign mode, quit lying to the public
Maybe you could be more specific or I am going to think you are making stuff up again.
According to Politifact.com Obama has kept 49 of his promises, compromised on 14, has another 14 stalled, has 127 in the works , 304 not yet rated and broken just 7. He has been in power for 10 months, I think thats a pretty good start. And if he didn't have Republicans dedicated to obstructing him at every turn plus unfortunately some spineless Democrats with out the cojones to help him out, he could have gotten a lot more done.

Posted: 10/28/2009 8:54:07 AM | These are the big promises people I think are looking at lately. The ones that just might be dragging down Obama's poll numbers.
Most of these were the things that many were tired of seeing under the Bush administration.
Take #5 for example, seems that the new Reid admendment cannot be read yet, even by our elected officials.
<div class="quote">Obama’s Broken Promises
February 17, 2009
1. Make Government Open and Transparent
2. Make it “Impossible” for Congressmen to slip in Pork Barrel Projects
3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public
4. No more secrecy
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a Bill
6. We will put every pork barrel project online
